Seaside & Dreams

Hello my happy crafters and fabulous followers...
This month I bring to you a layout featuring my daughter
and one of her besties and a trio of tags inspired by the
seaside location where I live.

FOLLOW
Your Heart & Dreams

Beginning with a nice floral paper I chose to place the

focal point near to the centre inside an Ornate Frame and decorated

the radiating surrounds with a combination of

Page Borders & Leaf Sprays

 

The Page Border was dissected and utilised about the layout with

one part being decorated with a pearl as a topper.

 

The flowers were bunched with a collection of paper straws and skewers

and bound with florist wire and string.

A number of hearts were embossed to match some of the

earthy tones of the flowers as well as a way to introduce texture.

Scrap Words are always a great way to include a title on many types

of projects and although these great friends are now separated

by distance they both know they must Follow their Heart & Dreams.

Seaside Tag Trio

Digging through my stash I found a few jumbo tags and

instantly thought about marrying some of Scrapmatts lovely seaside

chippies with them...The height would fit nicely with lighthouses.

Each of the tags were stenciled with different patterns to tone

down the glossy backgrounds that were already a part of the tags.

On this I used some of the very new Distress Oxides to bring out

some colour and not having used these before I wanted to sample

a fair selection of them and was pleased with the results.

Each tag was dressed with some fishing net and adorned with

a variety of Nautical Design chipboards.

Additional to this I used some serviette images to extend the theme.

The final touches were to add the lighthouses, sand and shells.
